What's missing spark or fuel? Pull a plug wire insert a screwdriver into the boot hold metal part of screwdriver 1/2 in from block and have someone crank it you should see a spark. Then depress schraeder valve on fuel rail test fitting did gas come out? If not check fuel cut off switch I think it's under the dash but not sure reset if tripped next check fuel pump. Can you hear it run?
